1. Getting ready for our baby girl!
Everything continues to be going very well with Rachel's pregnancy. We are now officially into the third trimester and the countdown really begins! We can't believe we only have 3 months to go until we meet our baby girl! It seems like there is so much to do (and buy) before she comes but we can't wait! As you can see, Rachel's belly is finally beginning to grow; it's hard to imagine how big it will be 3 months from now. Our girl is a very active little one and we have enjoyed being able to feel her move so often. We continue to work on coming up with the perfect name for our girl... you will all have to wait and be surprised after she is born :)

2. Getting used to winter again :(
Whether we like it or not, it is officially winter here in Minnesota. Some days we wonder why we ever left California for this :) We are happy to be home though, and are happy to be able to celebrate Christmas with our families this year.

3. Finishing the basement.
This has been the busiest and most time consuming part of our lives for the last 2 months! Adam did all of the framing and the heating/cooling himself and I helped with the electrical. After passing all of the inspections, we started sheetrocking. We bought a drywall panel hoist (and then sold it) and it was definitely a lifesaver for doing the ceilings! Now we are working on mudding and taping and things are moving right along. We are having carpet installed at the beginning of January, so that gives us a few more weeks to finish all of the walls. Busy busy busy! We can't wait till this whole project is done!
